Biography
Yusuf al-Azmarly was born in Libya, and he studied economics. Under president Muammar Gaddafi, he was appointed the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya's delegate to OPEC, representing Libya's interests in the world oil market. On 21 December 1975, Carlos the Jackal and a team of five other Arm of the Arab Revolution assailants entered the OPEC building in Vienna, Austria and intended on taking the Saudi and Iranian delegates hostage to Libya, but al-Azmarly ran at Carlos to attack him. Carlos shot him several times with a pistol, killing him. This soured relations with Libya, and Gaddafi refused to give the terrorists asylum in Libya as planned.
